Great shave Jack! Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to purchase this set tomorrow

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

It's great, I think you're gonna enjoy it.

@Ryland_28 2 года назад

Sounds like a scent that I would definitely appreciate. Cheers for the review. 👍

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

Thanks for the support, Steve.

@johnshaves1996 2 года назад

Looking good with the straight bro. I look forward to trying this scent along with the new splash formula.

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

Thanks man, I'm certain you're gonna love it.

@peterkaufmann8579 2 года назад

Definately agree with you Jack. Lother is indeed the best artisinal soap, hands down, cheers Mate! 🍻

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

Thank Peter, I love the stuff.

@galenhuff8267 2 года назад

Jack, looking so much more comfortable with that straight. The time spent putting in shaves was well done. The technique is on the up! Glad you found the inverted strokes early, I do the same method. It just took me a bit longer to figure it out.🤣

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

Thank you, sir. It's getting easier for sure. It's just the case of putting the time in. I hope you're well mate.

@26jasonmh 2 года назад

Namkha is ridiculously good. It's probably my number 1 base and scent I've tried in the past year. Really looking forward to Samber.

@vadesnow3675 Год назад

I agree 100% I easily rank Namkha in my top 5 of all time!

@DeeDeeDanone 2 года назад

Absolutely the best soap out there, the skin feel and slickness are on another level (to even A&E and Zingari imo). I actually think the V1 base is the second base out there by considerable distance. For a UK dweller like me Lothur prices are amazingly priced, 30 quid for the set is almost cheap. If I'm getting a ZM, A&E, B&M set I'm looking around £45+.

@T-R.e.x 2 года назад

Having there in the UK, Phoenix & Beau soaps (the tallow formula not the vegan) from Kerry & Sara there is no need to spend this amount of money for the US artisans, especially now.

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

@@T-R.e.x Where I enjoy Phoenix and Beau - Løthur is a considerably better performer.

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

£30 for the set is very good. Didn't know he was charging that...

@Theflyguy522 2 года назад

Great shave Jack, I have one of allesandro 2 band brushes in mammoth tusk and it’s excellent! I’ll have to try this from Lothur, I picked up Dave but unfortunately had a reaction from it. It was a bloody good soap though! 👍

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

I'd let Jonny know about that mate.

@afeitadoclasicowetshave 2 года назад

Hello, for watching this video I bought the soap and ... surprise, the aroma is exactly the same as Altamira from Los Jabones de Joserra, maybe Altamira something more powerful. Great soaps, both with an animalic scent that is not for everyone.

@Fred_shaves 2 года назад

How long do you soak your badgers prior til shaving? I have find no differemce soaking 2 min vs 10 mins. They preform just as well. The only difference I find, is that I maby need to add a little bit more water to the tups while loading from the soap.

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

I typically soak my brushes from 2-5 minutes.

@brooklynwetshaver7476 2 года назад

Are you tub loading or scooping and loading from a bowl and then face lathering? You think you can do an updated video on your process? I've watched your lather progression to the point of perfection. Every soap you use seems to be a perfect consistency.

@EdgeDynamicsEnglishRazors 2 года назад

I felt a disturbance in the force ,so I checked out your channel :) Nice video. Cheers

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

Haha, thanks mate. Hope you're well.

@chrisruss8332 2 года назад

I’ve been tossing up between getting A&E Kaizen 2 vs Lothur in outright shave performance. Are we splitting hairs Jack?

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

Slightly, lol. It's the post that makes Løthur win for me, it's so good

@petervernelen6784 2 года назад

Hi Jack I've been eying Løthur for a while now but just can't decide which scent to try, is namkha your favourite?

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

It's definitely my favourite but it depends what you like.

@T-R.e.x 2 года назад

So sorry to be THAT guy, but I just can't accept that a product with a high concentration of Dimethicone and no real skin food ingredients, is the best artisan soap out there. Sego, Kaizen, Siero, Milksteak & v3 from Noble Otter are far away from it and the best bases out there. (ok, I haven't tried the Omnibus yet)

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

Don't hate the dimethicone, let it be your friend.

@jonnyg6820 2 года назад

the term skinfood is redundant, artisans use oils and butters in a soap to create slickness not to indulge your skin with actives. Most come under a term called Occlusives, meaning they sit on the skin and trap moisture (water) into the skin. The best of these ingredients some silicones and petroleum based things such as Vaseline (Shea butter, lanolin, coconut oil etc) all come under this category. So if you want the best occlusive dimethicone and petroleum jelly are the best of the best. Also you are washing and scraping it off your face so the time spent on the skin is negligible at best. I know this because I work with a dermatologist and a chemistry lab to develop my products.

@robertross8565 Год назад

I back Jack up 100%. Lothur's post-shave is second to none.

@T-R.e.x Год назад

@@robertross8565 after several uses with Oregon, I can't agree more 👍 I was wrong 😔

@robertross8565 Год назад

@@T-R.e.x No worries. It sometimes takes a few uses to dial a soap in. I bowl lather Lothur. I measure out 1/16 tsp (aka a PINCH). I add 1/2 tablespoon of water and make a slurry. With a slightly damp synthetic brush, I turn the slurry into a fantastic lather in about 1 minute. I use my thumb to help dissolve all the soap into the water. Try it out. It works like a charm. Use a cheap penknife to scrape the soap out of the measuring spoon (available at kitchen stores). Cheers.

Just waiting for Jason's shipment from Jonny to hit State-Side. How would you compare this to Zingari's Byron? Appreciate you brother.

@TheVirtualGroomroom 2 года назад

No.1 was more Rose than Oud, this is the other way around. I also wouldn't say the oud used in No.1 was animalic or funky, this is.

@gregorylawrence7262 2 года назад

@@TheVirtualGroomroom Indeed No.1 was ultimately rose forward. That's exactly what I needed to hear, sir.

Unfortunately, one of the few soaps that smelled so bad I could not put it on my face. Will give "CALM" a try.

@eumenides5011 2 года назад

Gotta be honest, products with Dimethicone are an immediate non-starter for me. Hope he updates the base and takes that stuff out.

Here we go again...

@jonnyg6820 2 года назад

Why is that?

@crustyskellington4056 2 года назад

There’s absolutely nothing wrong or harmful about dimethicone. In fact, it’s used in lots of skincare that’s actually GOOD for you. It’s been completely demonised, much like parabens. CeraVe uses it in their facial moisturisers, and it’s used in the Løthur soaps in place of lanolin which causes a lot of sensitivity issues. It’s a perfectly safe occlusive and I wish more folks were educated on it.
